REASONS FOR JUDGMENT


1                     This is an application to set aside orders made by me on 27 July 2005 dismissing the appeal brought by the applicant.

2                     The respondent submitted that this Court has no power to set aside those orders.  I doubt that is so and I am prepared to assume that the Court does have the power.  In any event, having regard to the history of the matter and the non-appearance of Mr Khan on several occasions, including today, and for the reasons given by Mr Markus, the appropriate order is to dismiss the application with costs.


I certify that the preceding two (2) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Moore.
